Convicted killer Clarence Hill was already strapped to a gurney with IV tubes running into his arms to deliver a lethal injection when the Supreme Court granted him a stay of execution. On Wednesday the Court will hear Hill's appeal, using his case to clarify how inmates may bring deadline challenges to the use of lethal injection and whether his challenge can be filed as a civil rights action. A ruling in the case could halt executions in Florida and perhaps elsewhere, at least temporarily.

Convicted killer Clarence Hill was already strapped to a gurney with IV tubes running into his arms to deliver the lethal injection. The executioner was ready for the order to start the flow of drugs, and witnesses including both his family and relatives of the slain police officer were waiting.
But at the last minute, Hill was granted a stay of execution by the U.S. Supreme Court.
